Employee records with the right view for each role

Try a real employee-records app built from one message — open the same files as the employee, the manager and HR — or describe your company and get your own.

Employee files in folders and spreadsheets mean salaries and passport numbers reach people who shouldn’t see them, and IDs expire without anyone noticing. Describe what goes in a file and who sees what, and whacka builds an HR app for your phone: HR sees and edits everything, a department manager sees only the basics for their team, and each employee sees their own file.

Every salary change is logged — who, when, before and after. Documents close to expiry appear on an alerts page for HR, and the app switches between Arabic and English. Free to start; free apps stay online for 14 days after each publish, and paid plans start at $3 a week.

A real one, built with whacka

Malafat — employee files for a company with two departments

Built from the message below — written in Kuwaiti Arabic — in about six minutes. Open it and tap «جرّب التطبيق بدون حساب» (try it without an account), then open the files in three roles: the employee sees their own salary and documents, the manager sees their department without salaries, and HR sees everything — every salary change lands in the salary log.

The employee sees their whole file and can change only their phone numberThe department manager sees only the basics for their teamThe salary log: who changed it, when, before and after
The sentence it was built from
نبي نظام لملفات الموظفين لشركتنا. عندنا قسم العمليات وقسم المبيعات، لكل قسم مدير، وعندنا موظفة شؤون موظفين (HR). ملف الموظف فيه: الاسم، المسمى الوظيفي، القسم، رقم التلفون، تاريخ التعيين، الراتب، رقم البطاقة المدنية، رقم الجواز، والآيبان. والموظف يرفع صورة البطاقة والجواز. الصلاحيات: - الـ HR تشوف كل الملفات كاملة، وهي اللي تضيف وتعدّل. - مدير القسم يشوف ملفات موظفين قسمه بس: الاسم والمسمى والتلفون وتاريخ التعيين. ما يشوف الراتب ولا البطاقة المدنية ولا الجواز ولا الآيبان ولا صور المستندات. - الموظف يشوف ملفه هو بالكامل ويقدر يعدّل رقم تلفونه بس، وما يشوف ملفات غيره. - أي تغيير على الراتب ينحفظ في سجل: منو غيّره ومتى والراتب قبل وبعد. هالسجل ما أحد يقدر يعدّله أو يمسحه. - تنبيه للـ HR قبل انتهاء البطاقة المدنية أو الجواز بشهر. - أنا صاحب الشركة أشوف كل شي، وأنا اللي أسوي حسابات الدخول (يوزر وباسوورد). نبي التطبيق عربي وإنجليزي.
  • We signed in as every role with real accounts and also called the server directly: a manager can’t see salary, civil ID, passport or IBAN
  • A manager sees only their own department; an employee sees only their own file and can change only their phone number
  • Document photos open only for HR and the owner, and documents expiring within a month show up in HR’s alerts
  • In demo mode: we raised a salary from 650 to 720 dinars, and a new line appeared in the salary log with who changed it and when

Good to know

Is it free?

Free to start: the free plan gives 8 credits a day (up to 24 a month) — enough to build, refine and publish a first app, with no card. On the free plan a published app stays online for 14 days after each publish; paid plans start at $3 a week or $10 a month. Running the app itself — data, storage, notifications — uses no credits.

How many staff logins can I create?

You create them yourself inside the app — a username and password per person, no email needed. They count against your Whacka account: 5 on Free, 10 on Starter, 30 on Pro and 100 on Ultra; for more, email wow@whacka.app.

Is it a full HR system?

It’s the part most small companies need first: employee files, their documents and who sees what. Add leave, attendance or petty cash to it in chat, or build each as its own app. Monthly payroll, end-of-service and social insurance aren’t in it.

Does it work in Arabic and English?

Yes — the app above switches between Arabic and English with one tap because the message asked for both. Name the languages you want in your description.
